Abstract

Regional anaesthesia (RA) has become a prominent component of multimodal pain management in emergency medicine (EM), and its use has increased rapidly in recent decades. The objective is to improve the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks performed by trained personnel, as a key element of multimodal pain management regimens in the ED.
